Prince Liam Baptised at the Vatican

Prince Liam, younger child of Prince Félix and Princess Claire, was baptised this Saturday in the Chapel of the Choir within St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. His godparents are Prince Sébastien and Anna-Maria Pamin, who was already one of the witnesses to the wedding of Liam's parents. The little prince was born on November 28, 2016. Liam Henri Hartmut, as is his full name, was baptised during a mass concelebrated by Rev. Dr. George Woodall, professor of moral theology at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum, alma mater of Prince Félix and Prince Claire, and Monsignor Camille Perl.

Naturally, Liam's big and super adorable sister Amalia was on hand for the event at the Vatican. Also in attendance were Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume - who was responsible for the musical accompaniment - and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie, Prince Louis, Princess Alexandra, Claire's parents Hartmut and Gabriele Lademacher and her brother Felix, as well as Princess Margaretha and Prince Nikolaus with their children Anunciata, Astrid and Josef (who were all in Rome for the big Liechtenstein gathering anyway). I also spied Prince Lelio Orsini d'Aragona as well as Prince Hugo and Princess Sophie of Windisch-Graetz with their daughter Larissa among the guests.
